To all whom it-mag concern Be it known that I, FRANK Scnnrimr, a citizenofthe United States of America, residing at Mansfield, in the county ofRio land and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Fountain-Brushes, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to certain new and. useful improvements in.Itountain brushes and pertains particularly to shaving brushes.

One of the objects of my invention is to provide improved means ofsimple, efiicient and economical structure for positively feeding paste,powder, cream, soap, or'any de sired fluid to the brush bristles.

Another object of my invention is to pro vide a feeding mechanism thatcan be oper ated to convey the material in the magazine to the brushbristles and restored to its normal position, preparatory to the use of:the

brush, thereby maintaining the compactness of the brush and its feedingmechanism which adds to the convenience and comfort ofthe user.

Another object of my invention is to con struct a magazine of two partshaving a plunger carrying a washer slidably fitted therein, and-furtherto provide a keeper for the plunger and washer when the parts aredisconnected which will prevent the mutilation of the washer andmaintain said washer centrally of the bore of the other part of themagazine so that the parts can be readily connected or threadedlyengaged without interference from the. washer.

A further object is to provide a valve mechanism having a stem with avalve formedon one end to-permit or prevent the flow or discharge of thematerial from the magazine to the bristles of the brush; said stein,also,,being connected to and adapted to operate the plunger within themagazine.

A furtherobject of my invention is to provide means for operating thefeeding and valve mechanism of a fountain brush, which means can beforced to, stopped, and operated at the end of the chamber of themegazine, thereby substantially concealing said means prior to the useof the brush.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a side clevation, in section, of theinvention showing the feeding mechanism-in contact with the cream orother material in the magazine and the valve in openlposition. Fig. 2 1sa side elevation partly broken away and in secand its accessories.

A screw threaded porethen 6 is formed on the stem and is adapted to engage with the threadedaperture formed in the center of the plunger 7' Yhcnthe stem 5 is turnedthe valve seat 8 is closed or opened by the valve 9 which is formed onthe end of the stem 5. The 11 per portion of the plunger '7 is reducedto cm a shoulder and is adapted to fit within the inner periphery of thecupped shaped lower end of the cap 11. The cap and plunger are fastenedtogetherthrough the medium of screws 12 or any other well knownfastening means An outwardly extending annular flange 13 is formed onthe cupped shaped member 10 of the cap. The plunger is provided with awasher 14. which surrounds the outer periphery thereof. The washer is,also, provided with an inwardly extend ing flange 15 which is interposedbetween the outwardly extending-flange 13fandthe shoulder 15 of thereduced portion of the plunger, thereby holding said ;washer in place.

The upper part 16 of the magazine is threadedly connected to the lowerpart 1 and is provided with an inwardly extending flange 17 which formsa stop "for the plum r Part 16 also provi es a keeper for the plungerand the leather washer, to maintain the leather washer in pl ace andkeep it from bein mutilated when it is desired to remove the owcr part 1for the purpose of filling cream or the like therein or connect saidparts after filling the part 1.. A holder 18 is fitted to the outerperiphery of the cupped shaped portion 10 of the cap 11 and serves as ameans of holding the bristles 19 inplace A sanitary casing 20 isprovided and. is adapted to partially mechanism up until stopped by theflange 1? and the seein'is lurned to the right, closing 'he valve s 8through 'lnhe lhe ,;We 9 a formed oi the 1" ac es easily disconnected,"she para, l5 retainin 2% the plunger and llDS accessories and part naneheu he lulled, vvitn creamer lilre.
